  • Motion reference: S5M-22712

That the Parliament congratulates Kirkcudbright Coronavirus Community Help on quickly organising a very effective volunteer team that assisted the most vulnerable people in the town during the lockdown in April, May and June 2020; recognises that 85 volunteers registered with the group, with 36 of these linked up with a permanent "buddy’" to assist others in the community, including with shopping, dog walking and phone calls; acknowledges that over 500 calls were received by the dedicated phone line set up by the group with 334 prescriptions delivered and over 300 face coverings made by a team of machinists for the volunteers and people who had been shielding to give them confidence to venture out again, and sends its best wishes to all involved with this work.
